Mum always knows everything!
I am newly diagnosed and dread telling my parents. They are elderly and yes it will be a shock. But....my mum knows everything and will no doubt tell me what I have done wrong, what I need to do, etc. I am dreading telling her.
I know she will also be on my doorstop every day and on the phone which I don't want.
How do I deal with this?

- Thanks for the reply :) Yep my mum is easier said than done, but I have grown some "balls" over the years so will be straight and firm. Dad is the softie, so will be harder for him x
- Others will probably have better advice, but I would suggest telling her this (in the nicest possible way) straight up when you tell your parents about the diagnosis.
